I looking for Gargoyle 1.4.5 for TL-WR1043ND and WRT54GL

So fast contribution! Thanks! I even didn;t have time to check last bin released here, because it just worked well for many days for me, and no even 1 restart!

ispyisail is Your build got CONFIG_ATH_USER_REGD=Y ?

Is the 1043nd more stable with encryption enabled now with the fixes in this firmware?

I guess it depends on the hardware... so far all 1.5.x versions have been totally stable on both mine. I have not tested this prerelease.

My tail of woe...

Back story, new to Gargoyle. Coming from rock solid DD-wrt on linksys WRT54GS v1 of many years. Near on 20 years of *nix experience in various forms... Came over to Gargoyle due to the excellent bandwidth / usage monitoring. Suffering horrid wireless stalls since moving to Gargoyle (well documented in open-wrt forums with this chip set).

Saw WiFi fixes listed in 2358a5a7 and loaded it fine. WiFi stalling less but not resolved. Saw more WiFi fixes listed in this release (10d29bc4) and hit a snag.

Now I know some of this is not logical, and probably has a reason I missed, however I don't have a spare router to keep playing with, so just jotting some notes if some one has similar hardware and wants to compare experiences.

Attempt one. Firmware flash using *trx file.. seemed to go rather slow. But flash it did. Loaded up the webpage, restored config.. waiting, waiting, waiting..... Power light blinking blinking... Bother, shes dead. Recovered using the plug in power/wait 2 sec/hold reset button 5 seconds... web page works again... Breath a sigh of relief.

OK, lets do something different, even though as I understand it, this should make no difference at all. Flash using the wrt54gs sqashfs bin file. Firmware load, still seems slow. Load config from back up and it boots. Sweet I think.. but no.... No WiFi at all. Well thats not true. I can see the SSID, but can not connect. eeekkk... Family getting cranky at me. Net down for nearly an hour... Best I roll back to 2358a5a7 Bingo, working fine again.

Now I know there is lots of should have, could have done to understand what I saw, but like I said.. Its my only router, and a family that wants their net rock solid. If time permits I'll like at my (external) syslog server and hope the router spat out some logs, but that's for another day. Maybe I'll give it another shot when no-one is around so I don't cop greif

Hope you all have better luck than I did, although it was a bit of fun all the same.

These wifi fixes were all for Atheros hardware, not Broadcom. You should probably be using 1.4.5 Gargoyle firmware with your wrt54g router. Not really sure what you mean by stalling, but I guess you should make sure the encryption you are using is WPA TKIP or WEP. You can look for wireless error messages in dmesg.

Upgraded from 1.4.5 to this build on my DIR-601 Rev A1

Wireless seems a bit more stable than 1.4.5

ispyisail - is this using trunk?
